EVSE for my 2015 nissan leaf

[Andolyn]

What EVSE are you folks using to take advantage of the 6.6Kw charging capability.
Thanks for any and all input
Warmest Regards

I like my Schneider unit, and last I heard it was on sale at Home Depot for $599.

Going over the internet I've narrowed it down to the following
Evesopen 50 amp
Juice box
EVSEupgrade
I'm leaning towards the juice box because i dont want to have to put anything together. The evse upgrade will not let my leaf charge at the 6.6KW

The evse upgrade will not let my leaf charge at the 6.6KW

I thought the EVSE upgrade does 30 amps, which is equivalent to 6.6kw?

No, maximum output is still listed at 16 amps. Its probably a limitation of the contactor used by Panasonic:

If you buy a Clipper Creek, Schneider, Bosch, or other commercial complete unit, you get the added value of warranty from a large company and UL certification.

If you go with OpenEVSE, you get the added value of knowing everything in the box from hands-on experience, allowing you to fix anything that breaks and understand every situation.

The JuiceBox and Upgrade are good solutions which are less expensive than full commercial units, but don't give you either of those advantages.

If you have an electrician install an outlet for you, that cost will make any EVSE seem cheap.

It all comes down to your particular needs and values.

I'm still using my Blink, but when it finally dies I'll likely get a Clipper Creek because of their good customer service and three year warranty.
